Easton and Main: Gillespie Residence

Built in 1905 on 32 acres, the brick home was located at 510 North Main Street (northwest corner of West Easton and North Main streets). According to Sanborn maps, the house straddled the line between the original townsite and the first addition (North Tulsa), with a portion of the house in Cherokee Nation and a portion in Creek Nation. The north leg of the IDL cuts through the property now. Cain's Ballroom is just across Main to the southeast. The northwest corner of the property went to Edison & Wherl (?). Pictured on front porch, L-R: Ethel Gillespie, Georgia Archer, Fern Gillespie, & Fay Gillespie. See also: A1246, A1988, C1814, C1854
